About this deal
As we mentioned it doesn't have the full power that larger rotary drills will have, but is is still powerful enough for many tasks. Variable speed trigger enables the user to match the speed to the application for greater versatility
Thanks for taking your time to read our review of the Makita DHR171Z 18V LXT brushless rotary hammer drill. This model is one of the biggest selling rotary hammer drills on the UK market. The MAKITA DC18RC has a cooling fan that blows cool air into the battery. A digital power display identifies the condition of the battery and charging condition. Vibration absorbing handle moves independently of the motor and hammer mechanism for increased operator comfort The DHR171 has an efficient Makita Brushless Motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. It has 2-mode operation for “rotation only” or “hammering with rotation”, with 0-680 RPM, 0-4,800 IPM and 1.2 Joules of impact energy for fast and efficient drilling. The compact size and lower weight mean reduced fatigue for operators, especially for overhead applications. This is a useful drill for general purpose trade use and for home DIY. Rotary drills are usually heavy, but this one has been designed to be lighter.The electronically-controlled Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application The cordless DHR171Z brushless rotary hammer from Makita is ideal for working in tight spaces and overhead thanks to its compact design. It has an efficient brushless motor for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. It has a 2-mode operation for "rotation only" or "hammering with rotation", with 0-680 RPM, 0-4,800 IPM and 1.2 Joules of impact energy for fast and efficient drilling.
